The White Nights in St.Petersburg

The most exciting time of St. Petersburg's summer is allegorically called White Nights. White Nights last for about a month from the middle of June till the middle of July. During this period streets are not artificially lit at nights, because it does not get dark at all! The sun hardly hides behind the horizon, and you cannot find even the brightest stars in the night sky. On the longest day the sun stays in the sky for 19 hours, but even when it goes under there is enough light for reading. Each night at 2 am all the bridges across the Neva River are raised to let the ships pass, and so traffic is stopped till 5 in the morning.
   There are days when the downtown St Petersburg is full of people, even at night. It is a great time for those in love and in TANGO ...
